Need somewhere to think out loud,
- Thread starter Turveyd
- Start date
No trades today, too weak action, thanksgiving and all, maybe tomorrow but riding my MTB so maybe not.
Need to be calm and relaxed, like my demo trading day the other day.
$500 profit, per day for a week, Double Lot size, $1000 same, increase, $1500 same increase, $2000 same increase make $10K per week, buy loads of treats have a fun life, surely it can't be that hard.
* Add see if broker pays out 20K from a 2K deposit LOL

Better pick a random day and Sim it I guess, as zero action today and need to stay fresh and approve or not the BB extra bit.
Fun LOL
12th October 9am start GO!!!!
Weak down, holding... 50pts down later LOL ( need to zoom in, eyes weak )
Short 11606 - exit 11594 +12
Okay, not seeing the entries, bad day or too tired ??
13th 9am start.
Long 111481 - exit 93 +12
Got worried for a bit then, if I zoom too far in, then the lines all go flat and I can't see, direction to trade off, zoom out and all is fine, I can see direction and range, thought wasn't valid for those dates, all is fine!! 1/2 chart size for text under, must setup 2nd new screen that's been sat there for 2months LOL

Your not going to believe this but i just redesigned my method totally.
Direction part.....
13sma
Envelope 13 0.06
Range part......
BB 22 2.0
Issues where, ranges getting huge and SLs, keeping me in too long for trend changes.
Its just cleaner easier to see trend times and chop, which is key.
And BB self calculates based on volatility.
Likely change tomorrow when awake lol

Same day is cheating can remember enough
23rd Oct 8am GO!!!
Down weak or chop Short 11371 - SL 83 Exit 53 +18
Long 11356 - SL 47 Exit 72 +16
Long 11357 - SL 47 Exit 71 +14
Break up, no way to call really, shame I killed last long. 95 here.
Pull back uptrend in, 30 supporting Long 11374 SL 65 - missed exit - exit 92 had a 2nd chance +18
Major selling, close top of 0.14 range called it
Failed to join Went 100, didn't have the balls to paper trade get in LOL
Short 11191 - SL 11302 - Exit 74 +17
Going up L 11279 - SL 66 - Exit 11300 +21
Long risky 11276 - SL 11264 - exit BE Flip
Short 11278 - SL 90 - Exit 43 +35 Saw 30 damn it
Up Strong Long 11266 - SL 11255 - Exit 11300 +34
This is better, play fixed range wisely with direction, 12sma to 0.07 for trend entry, out to 0.14 for range entry, don't fight the 24's direction.

Time to sort out entry rules and SL positions depending on trade type and rules.
1. Only take trades with 24's direction, not perfect but improved odds and reduces the odds on being on the wrong side of a 100pt instant move.
2. SL tricky, don't want to much at risk, so if I enter trade at the 12sma, then SL just past the 0.07% and near that, just past the 0.14, but additionally, as soon as the market moves my way, if it comes back it'll likely be a turn, so tighten SL to just below prev low. Very few places on the chart, where that would be a bad SL exit.
3 Entry Size, Chop entries sideways markets 1 position only, Trend Entries moderately+ strong, I'm going to allow averaging down, same SL so 1/2 the risk on the 2nd position. low odds on getting a huge move counter trend, a SL breaker hence prepared to take the risk, a break from Chop = fast move and not getting out well.
Sadly work I guess tomorrow but will fit some trades around and aim to get back kicking ass!!
